fortune, returned to Chelsea July 2, 1791, leaving his oldest son to carry on the business, but bringing with him his wife, seven children born in Grenada, and three black servants, of whom only Fanny Fairweather ended her days in Chelsea.59
Mr. Cary remodelled the old house at the cost of $12,000, making it a fine specimen of colonial architecture.60 There were then no trees about the place; but he soon planted the east and west avenues with elms, which became majestic; bordered his grounds between Broadway and Washington Avenue with hawthorn shrubs, which grew to trees, as some living saw; made a dyke across Chelsea Creek, which gave him a fine fish pond; 61 discovered a fine spring up the hill- side, to be conveyed to the house; 62 planted a garden, and improved his lands so that in due time this place, named The Retreat, on the southeasterly slope of Powder Horn Hill (whose summit belonged mainly to the estate, commanding prospects that, once scen, are never forgotten), became one of the most beautiful in the vicinity of Boston.
To this place, though not easily accessible before the build- ing of Chelsea Bridge in 1803, came people from Boston, attracted by the beauty of the situation, or as relatives of its occupants, whose talents, culture, and intimate knowledge of strange lands and life, made their society interesting. The marriage of their daughter Sarah with Rev. Joseph Tucker- man in 1808 added to the charm of this circle. He succeeded the Rev. Phillips Payson as pastor of the church, which Mr. Cary joined July 23, 1797, as his wife had done nearly a quarter of a century before. The opening of Chelsea Bridge and Salem Turnpike, incorporated March, 1802, gave the Cary family easier communication with their Boston friends as well as with what is now Revere, where they worshipped, and with the Tuckerman parsonage, which was about two miles distant from The Retreat.

HISTORY OF CHELSEA
[CHAP. VII
Chelsea at that time provided only the cheapest educational advantages, and not even these in the vicinity of the Cary estate; 63 but some of the children had been sent to England, and some to a private school in Medford for education; and Dr. Phillips Payson, whose services as an instructor of youth have never been duly acknowledged, was not remote.64 And so passed the agreeable life of the Cary family at Chelsea, glimpses of which some of us have had and admired even when its primal glory had departed.
Adversity came soon. The negro insurrection of 1795 in the West Indies imperilled and chiefly destroyed the value of Mr. Cary's property in Grenada. To rescue it he went thither; but on the voyage he was taken prisoner by the French, and only with great difficulty saved his life. On his return to Chelsea he was obliged to accommodate himself to new circumstances. Chelsea finances not allowing a school taught by a master for the whole year, a mistress was employed for the summer months, during which the older boys assisted on the farm. 65
Mr. Cary died August 1, 1812, and his widow in 1825. Two of their daughters, known as Miss Harriet and Miss Ann, lived in the old mansion in recent days, and died sincerely mourned by all who had known them. The Cary mansion still stands, but its glories have passed away with those who once inhabited it.
63 [ There was no school near the Cary farm when the family came thither from the West Indies in July, 1691; but one was built within the next six months, and a master engaged for it. This was the school over which, as mentioned in the text, a woman was placed in the spring of 1792, because Chelsea could not afford to pay "all the year round for a man's school." (Cary Letters, 88, 92, 95, 114.) In 1795, when the news of losses in the West Indies arrived, the children were recalled from the boarding school in Medford; and the youngest received the rudiments of their education in this little schoolhouse. (Ibid., 99, 112, 114.) In 1799, Henry was at Billerica Academy. ( Ibid., 147; also, 172, 176.) Three
of the younger sons graduated from Harvard College: in 1811, Thomas Greaves Cary, later a member of the Mass. Hist. Soc .; in 1816, Robert Howard Cary (M.D. 1820) ; in 1817, William Ferdinand Cary.]

The Senter, or Carter, Farm
The fourth of Governor Bellingham's estates at Winnisim- met was early known as the Senter,66 and in later years as the Carter farm.
On the division of the Watts farms in 1728 the Senter farm, as has been said, was taken by Daniel, afterwards known as Deacon Watts. He, like all the children of Edward and Rebecca Watts, was born in England, and came to Winnisimmet with his parents in 1710. Unlike his brothers he was only a farmer, and lacked their opportunities for gaining wealth. The inventory of his personal estate shows only simple furni- ture and a small farm stock. His real estate was valued as follows : 67

September 27, 1739, for £310, he sold to Benjamin Blaney 68 twelve acres of land.69 This included the modern Heard estate on the southerly side of County Avenue, on which were lately built the mansions of Judge Bosson, Frank S. Hersom, and
€6 [This note has been placed as an appendix to this chapter ; see p. 378.] [Draft in handwriting of Samuel Watts], Chamberlain MSS., ii. 5.
€8 Though Captain Blaney owned this estate in Chelsea he did not live there, but a little over the Everett line, not far westerly of the "Everett Springs," where his house is still standing. He was an ardent patriot in 1775, and from his proximity to Chelsea he frequently acted with its people in public affairs. The brothers, Ambrose and Benjamin Blaney, were customers of Samuel Watts as early as 1742; but I cannot say that the latter was Captain Benjamin Blaney. [Benjamin Blaney, who bought this land, was captain of the Malden militia from 1746 till his death, February 8, 1750/51. (Malden Vital Records, 331; Corey, 718.) He came from Lynn in 1724; his house and tan yard near the South Spring in Malden had formerly been occupied by John Brintnall, second of the name. (Supra, p. 47.) Benjamin Blaney, the son, was born July 24, 1738, was an ensign in the Malden militia in 1765, and captain in 1774. (Vital Records of Malden; Corey, 720, etc.) ]

Dr. W. R. Chipman. Colonel John HI. Cunningham's estate, though on County Avenue, was not part of the Blaney pur- chase. In 1757 JJoseph Whittemore paid £1 9s. 7d. 2f. for the rates of 1756 " on his part of Deacon Watts's farm." I find no record of a conveyance of the farm to Samuel Watts; but from memoranda I infer that he purchased the greater part of it.70
Daniel Watts died June 7, 1760, aged fifty-six, and his wife Elisabeth March 21, before, aged fifty-seven. His will, May 29, 1760, mentions daughters Rachel Leverett, Sarah, and Catherine.71
On the division of the estate of Hon. Samuel Watts in 1772 the westerly half of the mansion house of Daniel Watts, and that part of Powder Horn Hill which was bounded easterly by the Cary estate, were set off to Dr. Edward Watts of Falmouth,

The easterly half of the house and several lots of land were set off to Hannah, wife of Dr. Samuel Danforth,73 who by later purchases became one of the largest owners of the marsh which stretches from the foot of Powder Horn Hill to the Mystic River. He sold these estates to William Hall for $26,000, with mortgage back for $14,000, March 11, 1806. March 16, 1808, Hall reconveyed to Danforth,74 who sold them for $10,000 to Thomas Furber October 16, 1813; 75 and Furber, to Richard Williams for $6,500 March 10, 1821.76 Rachel Williams, as guardian of the children of Richard, sold the Daniel Watts estate of five parcels, in all 128 acres, to William B. Reynolds for $4,800 May 1, 1824; 77 and he, to Joshua Carter for $7,000 September 2, 1835.78
August 1, 1856, the heirs of Joshua Carter for $60,000 conveyed to Wm. R. Pearmain and others, trustees of the Chelsea Highland Company, a part of Powder Horn Hill.79 This company in 1882 sold by auction its lands then unsold,

73 Dr. Samuel Danforth [H. C. 1758], son-in-law to Hon. Samuel Watts, and owner of much real estate in Chelsea, was not a citizen whose biography I might detail; but it may be mentioned that he was a loyalist, and as such his conduct was observed by the whigs. In 1778 he with some others was imprisoned for a few hours, and then released under circumstances which incurred the animadversion of the Committee of Safety for Boston. Their report, and a counter memorial of Dr. James Lloyd and Dr. Samuel Danforth, may be seen in Acts & Resolves, v. 848, 849.

On the site of that house stands that erected by the late Levi Slade; and on the site of the stable the house of Mellen Chamberlain, erected in 1870.

TLIEUTENANT JOHN SMITH was the son of Francis Smith of Reading. His lease of the Ferry farm was dated in Janu- ary, 1664/5. He was then about forty-four years of age. At Reading he had been an innkeeper, lieutenant of the military company of the town since 1656, and many years a selectman.1 He married for a first wife Catharine, daughter of Isaac Morrell of Roxbury. She died, it is said, in 1662. Five children by the first marriage were living when Isaac Morrell made his will in December, 1661: Mary, John (born 1651), Isaac (b. 1655), Francis (b. 1658), and Abraham (b. 1661). Isaac was killed by the Indians at York, Maine, in 1677.2 In 1697 only two chil- dren by this first marriage were living, Francis Smith, who married Ruth, daughter of Elias Maverick, and returned to Reading, where he dwelt on his grandfather's homestead, and became selectman, town clerk, and deacon in the church; and Mary, who married Major Jeremiah Sweyne of Reading, the com- mander of a regiment sent against the Eastern Indians, a Deputy to the General Court, and an Assistant.3
The second wife of Lieutenant John Smith was Mary Bill, daughter of James Bill, Sr., of Pulling Point. August 4, 1676, John Smith conveyed a lot of land in Boston to his father-in-law, James Bill, for the use of his wife Mary and his children by her. Three daughters by this marriage were living in 1702: Jemimah, who married, first, Paul Maverick of Winnisimmet, son of Elias

According to papers filed in a suit Francis Smith, July 3, 1649, conveyed a farm in Reading of two hundred fifty acres to John and Catharine Smith for life, with reversion to their children. John Smith sold his rights therein. In 1707 Francis Smith son of Captain John Smith, deceased, and Jeremiah Sweyne, in the right of his wife Mary, sued to regain this land. It is there stated that Mary Sweyne was the daughter of Captain John Smith, and not, as Eaton sup- posed, his sister. MSS. Records of Inf.

Maverick, Sr., and, second, Henry Richman of Boston ; Anne, wife of Jonathan Tuttle of Rumney Marsh; and Phoebe, wife of John Brintnall.4 According to Eaton, Jemimah Smith was born in 1670; and Phobe according to the Boston Records June 27, 1673.
May 30, 1711, John Brintnall stated that he had kept the inn at Winnisimmet and attended the service of the ferry for seven- teen years.5 Presumably he and his wife lived with Captain John Smith after the death of her mother in 1693/4. Yet Captain Smith left a widow named Esther." His will and the inventory of his estate are in the Suffolk Probate Records.7
When the Three County Troop was disbanded in 1690, and a ninth company of the militia of Boston formed, the train soldiers of Rumney Marsh were directed to meet at Lieutenant Smith's to nominate officers. In 1691, he was captain of this company.8]
